My Travel Bucket List* | Just Add Ginger


Just Add Ginger blog

Ask anybody who knows me and they will tell you that I constantly have itchy feet. I am always searching for the next place I can visit, holiday I can go on and country I can explore. 

With a wedding in the pipeline, thoughts often turn to where we might like to go on honeymoon. It's a really difficult decision to make because there are so many places I haven't seen. But I want to. 

So what if it was just down to me? What three destinations would I say topped my travel bucket list? That if I didn't see them at least once I'd have itchy feet forever? Well...here we go! 

THE ROCKIES

In 2012 I had the holiday of my dreams and went on a Trek America adventure to Canada and America. It was an eye-opening holiday, and extremely cathartic for me. I fell in love with the Canadian countryside. How peaceful it was. How tranquil/ How amazing it made me feel. Being out there really put a lot of things in to perspective for me, and once I'd returned from that holiday, I knew that I had to go back and see The Canadian Rockies. My dream would be to experience them by train. But just being in their presence at all would just be absolutely incredible!

THE MALDIVES

I'm not very good at relaxing on holiday. I'm too much of an adventurer. But The Maldives is somewhere where I would have no choice but to relax. And that's something I'd love to do just at least once in my life. Especially when the island might not be here for much longer. To just sit and look out at the never-ending, rippling waters, swim with the fishes, and just have some time to sit, breathe deeply, and contemplate life....That would just be magic! 

NEW YORKJust Add Ginger blog
This one is a little bit of a cheat choice, because I have in fact been to New York before. Twice. But oh my GOODNESS I would give anything to go back again. I just love it there. I love the hustle and bustle, the electric atmosphere, the restaurants, the people, the bars, the landmarks, the lights....I love it all. And I would love to take Boyfriend with me to experience it all. Being in New York gives me the chance to give in to my adventurer side and explore, but then kick off my boots and relax in Central Park. It's a city where I am completely free and at ease, and I love the way being in New York makes me feel. To share that feeling with my soul mate would be a dream come true.
